Where man ascends and God descends.

The life of Mount Athos is a Mystery that is beyond description. Our eyes must be opened to see the Mystery. We must be initiated into the Mystery. Initiation is not the fruit of logic alone of understanding. It is a matter of spiritual ascension. Where man ascends and God descends, where the meeting takes place, there the Mystery is created. This Mystery is what makes Athos not just a Mount, but Holy Mount Athos.
